The bus driver presses a button on the machine and it then changes Zone. The
612 drivers do this at Camberwell where Zone 2 starts/ends. You can read the
display which from memory gives the point name, in this case Camberwell.
Next time I am on the bus, I will try and see what the exact wording is.
